AN ILLINOIS WEATHER PROPHET.

A Sign of Wind TO-morrOw-Winter Un-

A shifting, scrawny bearded old man stood
on the front end of west bound Madison
street car late Saturday afternoon His only
companion was the driver.
sWe're goin ter have wind to-morrer,"
said the old man, with n sniffie. "See how
red the sky is in the west, That's a sure sign
of wind, and plenty on it, too. 1t may come
afore midnight"
The driver leaned one arm on the brake
and turned round with a serious face

said with much gravity, Us he squinted his
owlish eyes at the blazing horizon. "Fve seen

sparrers luggin' bed quilts and old mufflers to
their nests there were only three seasons in
the year. 1t was winter until July, then
there were three months of spring, and then
1t was winter again. All the garden truck
that was planted didn't come up until the fol-
lerin' year, when the fruit trees bore two
crops"
THAT was some time ago, wasn't itf' asked

Snannin- a Revolver.

We don't very often find a thief with q re-
volver II his pocket, unless he is getting out
Of town. A man known TO the authorities as
thief IS very often arrested on suspicion.
The police think he may be wanted for some
thing. If there is no charge against him LIE
gets away, but if revolver is found upon
him he is charged with carrying concealed
weapons and held until it can be seen what he
has been doing. One good thing about the

AUF WIEDERSEHN.

The beautiful braids of her golden hair
Are twisted in sport by the boistrous air,
And pearly tear on ths red cheek CLOVIS
Like a drop Of dew on the crimson rose;
But her manly lover tarries to throw
A mantle of cheer DER the maiden's woe:
'Auf w.cdersehn auf wiedersehn.
We part, my love, to meet again.
The ocean is fierce, and the beaten bark
Goes down to its fate IN the waters dark,
While a youthful lover, gallant and true,
Sinks into depths of longer adieu;
But bursting in spray from the rising foam
An echo floats to the watcher at home:
"Auf wiedersehn auf wiedersehn!
We part, dear one, to meet again."
A maiden is watching with straning eyes
For a coming sail in the distant skies;
Did the lover not say he would returns
So the maiden will hope. and watch, and yearn.
But 10! at her feet from his distant grave
There ripples the song OF tender wave:
"Auf wiedersehn. auf wiedersehn!
We part dear one. to meet againl"
The shimmerng braids on her bosom pale
Are resting from play with the boist 'rous gale;
The tear is CONCEALED on the icy cheek
And blue eyes are needless of sails they seek;
The spirit, in yelling through faded lips,
mortal thought in eternity dips
"Auf wiedersehn! Won meet again.
And short the time bis wiedersehn!''

THE VIRGINIA CONFERENCES.
MethOdists ExhOrted 20 Set their Faces
Against the Theater.

At the session Of the Virginia N. Z. Conference
South, at Danville, Saturday, preamble and reso-
luJions offered by Rev. p. A Peterson, A. q. Brown,
Paul Whitehead and John Z. Edwards were
unanimously adopted by rising vote and hearty
and loud amenS These declared that as "the
Methodist Episcopal Church south has always
borne strong testimony against the theater, aud
the patronizing OF theatrical exhibitions by pro-
Tossing Christians has, by recent occurrences been
given unusual prominence. and as the situation
seems to justify an expression OF opinion on this
subject by the conference. that we are profoundly
convinced OF the evil character and influence OF
the theater and OF its power as promoter OF ire
ligion, immortality and vice; and that we most
set their faces against this thing as a diversion
which cannot be used In the name OF the Lord
Jesus"
The recent occurrences" referred to are OF course
understood TO mean the Emma Abbot-Candler
